Determining whether HCPCS code G2211 can be billed when a patient sees a different physician or practitioner within the same group practice, even colleagues in the same specialty, presents an interesting coding challenge. The key consideration revolves around whether the new provider serves as the “continuing focal point for all needed services or provides ongoing care for that complex or serious single condition.”

Expert analysis by specialists like Terry is crucial in breaking down these nuances to ensure accurate coding for the G2211 complexity add-on. The code’s intent is to recognize the inherent complexity of visits that are part of a longitudinal patient-provider relationship, either where the practitioner is the primary point of contact for all healthcare needs, or where they manage a single, serious, or complex condition over time.

When a patient transitions to a new provider within the same group, even in the same specialty, the question arises whether the new provider has established or intends to establish the same level of consistent, ongoing care that would justify billing G2211. This requires careful consideration of the documentation and the nature of the relationship being built with the new practitioner.

Terry, our coding expert, unpacks these nuances to help you avoid over or under-coding. Tune in to ensure your practice is accurately capturing the true complexity of patient care!
